Read my story...

I am an earth mama. That is really how it all began. There was a birth and a camera and they came together to create something beautiful and this barefoot, pregnant mama happened to be the creator. That is really where it all began. I wish I could say that I have always been an earth mama. I wish I could say that I have always had a camera in my hand. Neither would be true. Somehow along this path, I ended up that way.

My career began exclusively with birth photography. I loved the miracle of birth. At some point, I was being hired to photograph all types of birth. I realized the beauty of each and every birth no matter what the type of delivery. It was the best job ever.

In 2008, I began to offer portraiture in addition to birth photography. I specialized in maternity and newborn portraits. I realized how much I loved every aspect of photography. As those babies began to grow, Earth Mama Photography grew with them. We continued to photograph those babies and became a part of their family.

You will find that is how we do things. I love being a part of each of my client's life stages. Through pregnancy, birth and as your family grows, I get to be there to document it for you. I value my clients and hope that they will let me grow with them.

I hope that the love I feel towards my own family, towards each client, and towards your special life events radiates through the images that I capture through my lens.

When I am not photographing your family, I am with my own. You would likely find me outdoors, camping or hiking, wearing my Chacos, or sitting by the campfire in my hammock. I have six children, four still at home and a dog. We travel full-time in our RV, exploring the world and photographing as much as I can.

I share all of my family adventures on Instagram, so take a peek below at what we have been up to lately!
